COMPOSITION FIRST. THEN THE DESIGN.

Before I draw anything, I map the form. Lines on a flat photo — where the arm bends, where the shoulder rounds. The design gets built on those lines.

That's why a piece looks like it belongs there.

Full read on how I design for the form is on the blog. Link in bio.

Bit of a behind-the-scenes one — what happens before any needle goes anywhere near skin.

Colour realism is dense work. Lots of detail, lots of transitions. If the composition isn't right from the start, all that detail just starts fighting itself.

So I plan it on a photo of you first. Composition lines drawn before the design exists. If I get this stage right, the piece sits right.

Full read on how I design for the form is up on the blog from Wednesday. Link in bio.

WHY SLEEVES TAKE MONTHS, NOT WEEKS.

A lot of people are surprised by how long a sleeve actually takes — not because of the tattooing, but because of what happens between sessions. Swipe through for the full picture, and read the blog for the detailed breakdown. Link in bio.

Love working with clients who trust the process! (Well I love working with all my clients!)

These are a handful of pieces where I got full creative freedom — either “give me something cool and unique” or “I trust you, do your thing.” Honestly some of my favourite sessions to tattoo.

When you come in with a vibe rather than a reference folder, it gives me room to design something that sits right on you — not just something that looked good on someone else’s Pinterest board.

But I am also always happy to collaborate if you’ve got an idea but want me to translate it into something that actually works as a tattoo. That’s the sweet spot.

Some progress shots of this magical sleeve! It’s covering up some old line work pieces! 😁 the detail on this piece is intense! But so far it’s covering up really nicely ☺️ Proudly sponsored by:

Not every day I cover up my own work 👀
This one takes me right back to when I first started tattooing — before I had an apprenticeship. Looking back, I wish I’d taken the proper route from the beginning. (I was a right little 💩)

Starting without guidance made everything ten times harder than it needed to be — and I made a lot of mistakes along the way. But every one of them taught me something valuable and pushed me to grow into the artist I am now.

I really enjoyed bringing this design to life — a piece that’s deeply personal and rich with colour and meaning. Each element was carefully considered to tell its own story.

I’m now taking on a limited number of custom projects for the next booking period.
If you’ve been thinking about something unique and personal, now’s the perfect time to start the conversation.

You can join my mailing list for early access, or send an enquiry through my website — and if you’d prefer a quick chat first, feel free to drop me a DM 🤍
